Stupidly underrated car and really just built for me. I hate (with a passion) all these crap new Audi's, BMW's and Mercs. I'm yet to sit in anything that even gets close to the comfort of the Safrane.

I dread having to replace this car, hopefully I won't have to for a long time yet!
Gotta hand it to that man, he loves his saff! I couldn't agree with you more to be honest. Although ours is off the road, it was a great runner before I pulled the engine out (thats the safranes weak point and it invites nothing but trouble after). It's also the reason it's still on the drive. Although it's dead I just can't bring myself to replace it with anything else. I'd prefer to just leave it there knowing that
one day I'll fix it.
I met another safrane driver in 2010 outside Tescos who said the same about the comfort and the badge snobbery, it seems to be the same with all safrane drivers. Gotta hand it to renault, when they want to make an exceptional car they really can do an excellent job.
My neighbour is an Audi and VW freak. God I really detest them. Sure they've got the latest stereo, dashboard and cup holders but they're still not a patch on the safrane and they're damn uncomfortable too. Last time I sat in a VW the seats were like wooden planks
